"The links have all been deleted from the DSA site."

It's still there, but out of date and buried in their archives section. Try DSA ARCHIVES and look under the heading 'democRATS'

--all you never wanted to know about what DSA is all about.

"Additionally, the DLC itself is a member organization within the Socialists International"

Can you provide a reference?

Way too easy.

SOCIALIST INTERNATIONAL

[Commiewatcher]

Sorry, I misread DSA for DLC. The DLC probably is not related to Socialist International, but nobody here believes that they are any kind of "mainstream" or "different" kind of democRAT as the liberal media paints them to be.

The media always refers them as being 'centrist'. Bullcrap.

Shouldn't Hitlary Clinton's name be on this list. I recall two quotes recently posted here on FR.

The 1st was from the Nazi policy something about putting the Nazi party over the people. ( If any one knows what I'm talking about please post)

The 2nd was from Hiltlary ( I know this one) "We must stop thinking of the individual and start think what is best for socity"

Thanks for the links. Bump.

THE PROGRESSIVE AGENDA

In contrast with the GOP's Contract with America, we shall offer a positive legislative alternative during the first 100 days of the 104th Congress to extend a "fair shake" to all Americans on the Progressive Promise. Our plan shall be rooted in the principles of social and economic justice, non-discrimination, and tolerance. It shall embody national priorities which reflect the interests and needs of all the American people, not just the wealthy and powerful.

No - the North Hills of Pittsburgh are represented by a true conservative, Congresswoman Melissa Hart. She is a rising star in national politics, just as she was in PA politics for the past 12 years.

Doyle is pretty dumb too, but at least he is pro-life and pro-gun. Kisses all the union ass that he can and pretty leftist on economic issues, but all in all - he is 10,000 percent better than Bill Coyne. And the City of Pittsburgh could do a lot worse than having Doyle reprsent them too. As far as an urban Dem goes, we could do a lot worse than Doyle too.

"No - the North Hills of Pittsburgh are represented by a true conservative, Congresswoman Melissa Hart. She is a rising star in national politics, just as she was in PA politics for the past 12 years."

Ah, then you are most fortunate. My district hasn't had a Conservative since 1962 (and a Dem at that), and it hasn't gone Republican since U.S. Grant's 2nd term in 1872.

"Doyle is pretty dumb too, but at least he is pro-life and pro-gun. Kisses all the union ass that he can and pretty leftist on economic issues, but all in all - he is 10,000 percent better than Bill Coyne.

Yeah, although it will be interesting to see if his vote starts sliding in a more Coynesian direction. Many in his redrawn district are looking to challenge him from the left in a future primary, and he'll probably want to keep an eye out on that flank.

There are a lot more fellow travellers in there than the 54 "progressive cacus" members.

[headsonpikes]

54 socialists? I would have said more like 400."

You're a pessimist. There's probably no more than 370-380. ;^)

Thanks for the heads up!
